WHAT’S HOT TO WATCH TODAY
FOR many fans of teatime quiz show POINTLESS (5.15pm, BBC1), there’s one important question that’s never been answered.
Namely, what do presenter Alexander Armstrong’s rude bits look like?
But it’s a question his frustrated, lust-crazed fans may finally learn the answer to tonight, as he and seven other famous blokes get their kits off to perform THE REAL
FULL MONTY (8.30pm, ITV). Inspired by the film of more or less the same name, which celebrates its 20th anniversary this year, these guys have bravely signed up to do a charity striptease routine in front of 2,000 people at the London Palladium.
It’s an attention-grabbing stunt to raise awareness of men’s cancers – with which, in one sense or another, everyone taking part has a personal connection. And the troupe is in the capable hands of Diversity’s Ashley Banjo, who’s choreographing the whole thing. But that doesn’t necessarily make the blokes taking part – who also include Emmerdale’s Matthew Wolfenden, TOWIE’s Elliot Wright, McFly’s Harry Judd, TV presenter Dom Littlewood, Olympic swimmer Mark Foster, Red Dwarf’s Danny John-Jules and veteran ballet geezer Wayne Sleep – feel any less uneasy about peeling off on stage. ELSEWHERE, WIFE SWAP:
BREXIT SPECIAL (9pm, Channel 4) marks the return of a format – just as a one-off for now – that’s been off our screens for eight long years. Green Party councillor Kat and UKIP campaigner Pauline swap homes and partners for a week – and would you believe everyone involved gets on just fine?
You would? Blimey.
